Client/Group progress summary	The client reported feeling stronger and more flexible since starting yoga therapy. She is also using her breath as a tool to manage stress.
Reflection and self-evaluation	The client reported feeling stronger and more flexible since beginning yoga therapy, which reassures me that our approach is working. Additionally, she is integrating breath awareness into her daily life to manage stress, showing that the practice is extending beyond our sessions.
Final Client/Group Report	After seeing your client/group (for at least 4 sessions including interactive intake) Please remember practicum is a learning experience. You’ll learn more from sharing what’s accurate than from what might “look good”. Things you did well, not so well, problems and questions are all valid and useful tools to teach you. We can’t serve you to become the best clinician you can be if you don’t share your challenges and mistakes. Success is anything from which you learn. You can continue to add Session entries after submitting this Final Client/Group Report.
Plan for next session	Continue with building muscle, flexibility, so we can maintain her bone density
